Multiple offers are back with agents setting offer dates to review offers again. But there still is some languishing inventory above the $ 1 million price point. After a slower 4th of July week, the Saratoga area market is picking up again – as are listings in the high-end. Silicon Valley – Open houses and general activity is still good, reports our Cupertino manager. In most cases homes are not getting the number of multiple offers they would have received a month ago.
Many real estate investors have asked themselves if buying a property in San Francisco is a good investment as the median price for a two-bedroom sits at $1.35 million. The high cost of real estate in San Francisco is impossible for most families to manage. Exodus is yet another problem and a new report confirms that the numbers are staggering.

Prices in inland California cities still have quite a bit of room to grow before matching their previous highs, with Sacramento and Riverside down by double-digit percentage points since the peak. U.S. home prices are just short of their prerecession peaks, while California still has a bit further to go. Here in the Bay Area, however, prices surpassed their previous highs during 2016. Prices are up in San Francisco itself, but the 3.5 percent blip is the smallest in 12 months.
The good news is that if you are a home buyer or real estate investor, San Francisco has a track record of being one of the best long-term real estate investments in the nation over the last ten years.

Overall, San Francisco is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers.
Bay Area Home Prices Hit Post-Recession Record High
Some Bay Area home-price predictions for 2017 are suggesting much smaller gains. More affordable homes have been appreciating much more quickly in the past 15 months than more expensive price segments. A small decline is not going to be much of a life boat for most of us. But it does snap a four-year hot streak that sometimes seemed on the verge of burning everything down. This on top of indicators earlier this week that demand for luxury housing in the city, particularly condos, has also dipped a bit.
This page has been updated to reflect the most recent trends in theBay Area housing market. Even though homes in the Bay Area housing market continue to sell for record prices, the market is leveling out. According to C.A.R., home sales in California plummeted by 36.9 percent in October 2022 compared to the same month last year.
That’s not your imagination – at least not according to Redfin, who report that home prices in the Bay Area declined overall for the first time in four years. March of 2016 saw a drop of 1.8 percent in the median sales price, down to $1.04 million. The median price paid for all homes sold in the Bay Area in June 2016 was a record $712,000, the third straight month it hit a new high.
The average sales price in Cambrian so far for May is $1,026,000 which is up 11% from May of 2015. And the average sales price so far for the month of May in Santa Teresa is $754,000 which is up 5% from last year. Our San Jose Main office manager reports inventory continues to increase, however it’s still below the average of the past 10 years. Buyers are picky and homes just a tad over-priced will continue to sit. Interest rates are excellent and buyers are stretching to get the house they want.
This figure puts San Francisco in the top 10% nationally for real estate appreciation. And within San Francisco, some individual neighborhoods’ home values have jumped by more than 100%, according to Trulia & Zillow. Here are the five San Francisco neighborhoods that have had the biggest jump. San Francisco real estate market is perpetually constrained in terms of inventory. Several factors contribute to this, but principally the strict zoning laws prevent new development and high-rise construction throughout the city.
Throughout the region, there was a year-over-year decline in sales. Of the nine Bay Area counties, only Napa showed an increase in sales volume, up a modest 2.6 percent. In Contra Costa County, 1,297 homes sold in May — the most of any county in the region — but that was down 2.3 percent from the year before.
Entry level properties (single family homes in the $700,000 range) are in high demand with double digit offers very common. This week saw the first slight dip in the home and condo inventory count after a couple of month’s increase, according to our Lombard office manager. Over 80% of SFH’s are still exceeding the listing price, whereas almost half of recent condos closings have been at or lower than asking.
But the more inventory there is, the less competitive the housing market will become for buyers. The cost of purchasing a property in the Bay Area has not yet decreased significantly. The median sales price in Bay Area topped $1 million for the twentieth month in a row.
